I would still think that if companies that "really really" want
you, they will pay the costs of a move.

I moved to two different cities (same company) ..but they
offered to cover moving costs. First it was a 115km move, then
it was a 220km move. Hotel costs were covered for about 2
weeks each time too.

Maybe ask for moving cost coverage if they don't specifically
mention them.

One time I moved for a job, and the company reimbursed me for the costs of the move. However, from what I was advised, my reimbursement was considered income and was thus taxed.. so after taxes were taken out, it didn't fully cover the costs of the move for me.

Hello Nightfox!

Yeah.. it would be like additional taxable income. But for me
it was worth it. The first move was almost double-salary (but
a 50% higher rent), and the second move was about 50% more
salary, but almost half the rent.

Had a similar situation. My job moved and I had to move with it or I'd get left behind. The company paid for the move, and they paid the taxes on the move.
